As I Wake by Elizabeth Scott

As I Wake by Elizabeth Scott - 269 pages

Ava wakes up not knowing where she is, who the other people around her are, or even who she is.  She can not remember anything except strange dreams about sitting in an attic listening to someone in an apartment below her. 
So starts a very unusual story about a girl who doesn't know which world is real.  Is it the world she's woken up in where she recognizes the faces of her mother and friends but not the people themselves.  Or the world she dreams about that is filled with fear of breaking the rules.
Then Morgan shows up - a boy that does not exist in her new world, only in the world of her dreams.  And he wants her to come with him back home.
This was a very strange book.  It's been on my list of books to read for a couple of years.  Unfortunately, I didn't really like the book.  The story seemed contrived and forced.  Not a book I'll recommend.
